ROLLING THUNDER
A classic 70s revenge film
Memorial Day War Movie Marathon
Here in the U.S. of A. it is Memorial Day. For those that don’t live here, Memorial Day is the one day a year that we remember those who died fighting for our country. A lot of people like to have barbecues and family gatherings. I like to spend the day making those people feelContinue reading “Memorial Day War Movie Marathon”
027 FOOLIN ABOUT: The Terminator – Unheard Stories & New Insights from Michael Biehn (Kyle Reese)
Not a review from me this time but a podcast from Actor Michael Biehn. Biehn is one of my most favorite actors and an all around cool guy. Who didn’t think Kyle Reese and Hicks from Terminator and Aliens was cool as shit? In retrospect I thin Biehn, Tom Selleck and Don Johnson as MagnumContinue reading “027 FOOLIN ABOUT: The Terminator – Unheard Stories & New Insights from Michael Biehn (Kyle Reese)”
Wind River 2017
Wind River is a 2017 neo-western movie that was written and directed by Taylor Sheridan. It wasn’t a major release at the time, but it was successful. It was something of a sleeper which is a shame as it is very, very good. I have been trying to turn people on to Sheridan’s movies forContinue reading “Wind River 2017”
Shoot To Kill
The 80s was a great time for action movies. There were so many of them, that some really good ones get lost in the mix. Forgotten gems of the 1980s, excellent films, full of great character actors and stories that never get talked about anymore. Shoot to Kill, aka Deadly Pursuit, is one of thoseContinue reading “Shoot To Kill”
Uncommon Valor
Well, Gene Hackman, his wife and dog were found dead early 2-27-2025. A helluva good actor who made some great flicks. This one being my favorite. Let’s take another look at it in honor of Gene and his career. RIP to him and his wife and dog. In 1983 the Vietnam War had only beenContinue reading “Uncommon Valor”
COBRA (1986)
Way back in 1986, Canon Films released one of their true timeless masterpieces of action cinema, Cobra. A young 11-year-old Shawn sat in the theatre and basked in the violent glory of Lieutenant Marion “Cobra” Cobretti blowing away mooks like it was cool (which it is) in a sleazy 1980s California. Cobra is about asContinue reading “COBRA (1986)”
Hard To Kill
Just before the old site died, I did a Retro Review of Marked For Death. Now we are back in the world of Steven Seagal and that world is a crazy, corrupt place with dirty cops and even more dirty politicians. There isn’t much we mere mortals can do about it. The good news isContinue reading “Hard To Kill”
Turbo Kid
The last 10 years have shown that the 1980s will never get old. There are a lot of movies and music around that have the look, the sound, and the feel of the 80s. Some of it has been pretty lame (Kung Fury,Manborg), and some of it has been awesome (The Guest, Father’s Day, Drive).Continue reading “Turbo Kid”
